I dreamt about my Zaurus. I was impressed when I got it. I was disappointed when trying to operate it under Windows or Linux. I am feeling stupid with it. I must confess that I still use my M500, reading news with Avant-Go is great ...
This being said, maybe one day the Zaurus will be fully operational. I have gathered loads of technical stuff about how to make it work ... including recompiling Suse 8.0 kernel to amend USB driver ... :-(
Don't get me wrong - the concept of the Zaurus is great - but when I furst held one it FELT like cheap plastic (unlike the M505) - in fact, my Mrs dropped the stylus on the floor and it snapped in two ! And they don't provide a way of syncing with Linux, only Windows... Come on, it's a Linux PDA !!! Time will tell - if Sharp listen to the email they've been sent, the Zaurus MkII should be good Jon
